The idea of raising minimum wage has been brought forward by the people to their government. Due to the fact that people believe they are not getting enough money to cover the cost of living. However, the cost of living is different in each state. For example, New York's cost of living to higher than Indiana's. For businesses raising minimum wage to $15 for example, would take a large amount of money from the businesses profit and can cause the business to lose financial stability.

If businesses are affected than eventually the economy will start to hurt because businesses give the economy most of its financial stability. Overall I think it is a bad idea to raise to $15 because in places like Indiana that would be to much. People flipping burgers at McDonald's do not need $15 an hour. I also believe that it could cause problems for the economy and for people in general. Prices will go up because of raising minimum wage and due to that the cost of living will go up, so really doesn't help anything. So people need to stop complaining and learn how to spend money better, and stop spending money of getting your nails done, getting a new phone, or getting a stupid fidget spinner. Your broke, you don't need it.

The three thing that our government should spend more money on is science, agriculture/food, and energy/environment. Because then we would be able to work on finding cures for diseases, allow more food to be produced, if we help with the environment it could make the world around us better for us and if we work on another type of energy we wouldn't have to spend money on buying oil/gas from other countries. The three things our government should spend less on is like unemployment/food stamps, housing/community, and Medicare/health. Because why should we be giving our money we worked for to people who just don't work and are lazy. I'm not saying everyone in that program is lazy and just doesn't work but most of them are. Well if we raise spending in science to fine cures it would help the lower prices on some medication. Also most of the people that need the housing/community are the people in the food stamp programs, so just get a job. Maybe if those people would get a job we could have more money to spend on thing we need to unlike spending it on your lazy sack. Thanks.

Trump believes that he can build the Mexican border wall with the money we get from putting a 20% tax on Mexican imports. However, even though I think the wall is a good idea, doing this could cause prices to go up on goods and may even cause some people from trading with the U.S. The plan that Trump has is a good idea but I will say he better look and watch the taxing on Mexican imports, that's all I have to say about that.

Flag Burning is intentionally burning and/ or mutilating a flag as an act of political protest. This act has been a hot topic in our country's history since the Federal Flag desecration in 1968, but recently has made its way back into the news. In the past two years with the campaign, election, and the election outcome many protesters have went back to using flag burning as a way to get there points across. After President Elect Trump’s victory was announced students at American University, in Washington D.C, burned flags as a form of protest. These students used matches to burn flags while yelling “This is a representation of America, we are going up in flames” Students participating through this thought their acts were going lead to a revolution. However, There was an equal amount of students protesting against the burning saying it was a hate act. Also this kind of protest has been used in protests concerning race and gender equality. So, revolution or hate act?

Personally, I believe it should be illegal. To me it is an insulting act towards our country and a slap in the face to those who have served and died to protect our country. Many people try to say it is freedom of speech. Freedom of speech? Hmm. How do they think they got that freedom? They have that freedom because of the people who fought for our freedom and for what the flag stands for. Show a little respect. Saying it's ok to burn a flag because freedom of speech is like saying it was ok for the KKK to burn crosses in victims yards and ok for some to burn a church down to get their point across. No! It's not ok they are all acts of hate in my eyes. Pro-flag burning people use freedom of speech and the 1st amendment as to why it is ok for them to do it. That is just a copout. Some also say it is a political issue not a constitutional issue.

This has been a controversial issue between morals and constitutional rights. In 1989 the Supreme Court ruled that the desecration of the flag is protected by freedom of speech. Also Congress has refused to pass a law against flag burning due to the constitution and the Supreme Court ruling. Many government employees admit that these decisions were made not based on personal or moral beliefs but on what is right for americans based on the constitution. President Elect Trump has not held back on his opinion on this issue. He has tweeted that it should be illegal, a criminal act, and should be punished by revoking someone's citizenship. Trump also hopes to pass a law against flag burning when he get into office. Whether you agree or not, it is safe to say this is going to continue to be a issue in our country.

Sanctuary Cities are cities were illegal immigrants can live in peace and don't have to worry about being caught by the police and or government because no one will turn them in. This is wrong in my opinion because its against Federal Law. Helping an immigrant that is here illegally is like hiding a fugitive from the law. They're tons of immigrants that have gotten their papers the right way so they can be here legally and have worked hard to get were they are. They even have spent years away from their family so they can earn enough money to bring them over. Why should these people just get away with not being legal and your helping them. What makes it worse is that they just come over here and then get to live in peace and not really working for their freedom. In saying this I believe that the supreme court should rule these cities to be illegal and if caught participating in this action then you should be fined or arrested.

I say that all of the things Trump wants to pass when he gets into office is great. However, I don't really agree with getting rid of the Pairs Agreement because I do believe that globe worming is an issue and we need to do anything we can to help control the situation. However, I do like that he wants to get rid of Obama Care because I think the whole thing is crap and it was just a way for Obama to look good for a hot minute. Also I believe that Obama Care is costing Americans more money then it is helping them save money.
